Westfield PD Extreme Traffic Stop- Teens

[mrjarrell]

What did they get stopped for? The LEO could smell them driving by?

Obviously, he was kin to officer Chompy and had super powers.

Carmel & Westfield? Bad reputation - looking for any excuse to play a power trip.

I have never met a Carmel officer I didn't like, or at least respect, either at my work, after a wreck, or even those who pulled me over the 2 times I've been stopped in Carmel.

The most recent time I was 2009 in the work vehicle and the officer apologized for pulling me over. He had to as I had the same thing the lady he had already stopped had. (Snow on plate) I got a warning.

The time before that I was pulled over for (plead 5th) in a 30. He asked why I was in a hurry and I said (honestly) that I was late to "movie night" at my parents' house. I got a warning then too.

There does seem to be common themes to the "customers" of the CPD... old car, beat up car, out of town work vans, teens... but I see that everywhere else too.

Get them both drug tested now. If they were smoking pot on the night in question, metabolites are in their system still. If not, then the officer was metaphysically wrong. Oops.

The case law is that you can search a stopped vehicle based on the odor of burnt or raw MJ.

Good to hear. Definitely not what I've been hearing but good to know not all experiences with them are bad.

I've had a extreme version of this happen to me when I was 19. I had my Buick park avenue, and was driving home from a girlfriends, who lived in Rochester, IN. I was stopped by 4 sheriff cars, removed from the car at gun point, was layed face down on the ground as my car was torn apart. I was told to shut my f'ing mouth, that I was nothing but a P.O.S meth dealer. After they found nothing in my car and on my person, I was told that my vehicle fit the description of a known meth dealers, and they thought it was me. I was given a ticket for speeding, which I wasn't, and was told to "go fck off".

Man, I wonder how many actual drug deals were going down while that policeman was dicking around with your son and his girlfriend?

Great idea to get them tested.
I know about the case law, but you would need to be stopped for something first or did the LEO stop them for the smell. He must have a good nose.

My wife and I play a game while driving on Keystone. Brown or Black. Loser has to do things that are none of your business. Our little game hit its peak during the construction of the roundabouts. Now, they usually just hide on on-ramps, completely out of sight. Oh, we are HC residents so we spend a lot time driving in the area.

Well yeah, DUH! Cops have training, and super powers, the training makes them smarter and more capable of making wise decisions than us normal folks, and the super powers, well, you don't wanna know what the super powers do for them. Besides, it's probably illegal to reveal the limits of their super powers.

We also get a good chuckle when we see Carmel out on 465. You know, because that totally relates to the safety of the town.

back when we had phone booths cops would go in and come out with thier thin blue cape on. they was able to leap buildings and out run speeding trains.

There is a curfew? Age? I assume that only applies to kids without parents with them?

I can't find a kool pic like rambone does but this one fits in nice.

Sadly the entire system needs a reset from the heavens before it gets fix.
Mayan's 21-12-2012 here we come!

Who cares about a consenting adult purchasing something from another consenting adult? I'm wondering how many break-ins and robberies occurred. Doesn't matter anyway, because cops can only smell cannabis crimes from a distance, not real crimes. Watch out for the ****ing smoking police, YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND YOU WILL GO TO JAIL! Even if you weren't smoking.

Stories like this make me sick, and are why I ultimately cannot stand law enforcers. They're more of an inconvenience to us than the "criminals" are these days.

at least the criminals without badges are honest about thier intentions.

Part of the stretch of I-465 between Michigan rd and Keystone is in Carmel.

Sad state of affairs in River City

OP here. Thanks to all for great advice and similar stories shared.

Not sure if my wife and I will take any action. I'm sure there is a "protect their own" mentality in any police force.

What really bugs me is that when the kids drove back I went out and opened the car door and really tried to smell "something" or see if there was a musty stale smoky smell. Nothing. Nada. Neither kid smokes cigs either. (I'm an ex-smoker so I would smell that immediately) I know what pot smells like too. So it just irks me that the guy would spend that much effort and time. Like maybe there was a car going the other way that was spewing smoke.

The other parent that actually had a few words with the officer told me she just wanted to "get the heck out of there before the guy changed his mind about letting them go". I asked, "Or what? Arrest them? For what? Curfew violation?" "No", she said. "The officer was just kind of ticked off so I had the kids take off and I followed". So the LEO has a bad day or shift and the public has to walk on eggshells so to speak? What a jerk.

Anyway, I've always been kind of neutral about LEO's. Now 2 teens are surely leaning the other way after that inspiring experience.

End of rant.....I'm out

Exactly. That guy commuting from an entirely different township via interstate effects accidents in Carmel. One of those cars could fly off of 465 and hit the Palladium.

This is probably the most significant casualty of the experience.
